  • Close blinds and cottons

  • During the day, lower blinds and close curtains to keep sunlight and hot air from moving into your home. Insulated cellular shades, also known as honeycomb shades because of their internal construction can block up to 80% of unwanted solar heat.

  • Plant more trees

Additionally, you should limit the number of colorful items in the home. vines can be planted along with Ivy which offer cooling shades by obstructing the sunlight that heats up exterior walls, and lowers temperature.
